Noodle Pack 6: What has Gumshoe been up to now?

[derp_detective]

 [The sounds of carpentry can be heard around Mitchell Road. Specifically from the house at 1449. The small garage beside it is open, and Missile, the ever faithful dog, is laying down in the shade of the door's slight overhang. Inside of course is a figure dress for the task at hand as he pares down a large bit of plywood with hand tools. Nearby

[And here comes his biffle to see what's up! Have a Kay hovering at the entrance to the garage, already leaning down and rubbing Missile's tummy as she watches.]

"Hey, Detective Gumshoe! What're you up to?"

[derp_detective]

"Gah!"

[Gumshoe is slightly surprised, but only for a moment. Maybe Kay is a pretty good ninja. Or maybe he was just that focused.]

"Oh, Kay! You surprised me! How's it going?"

[He gestures to the pieces of plywood laying around.]

"Right now, I'm working on something to give the place a feel of home, I guess. A Blue Badger mascot like we had back at the precinct."

[thief_of_truth]

"Oh, y'know... not too bad, I guess. Mr. Edgeworth is droned again, but I've kind of gotten used to that."

[Allows herself a momentary sigh before focusing instead on the plywood.]

"Awesome! You're building it all yourself?"

[derp_detective]

"Yep! Done it before after all. Was a bit harder to find the stuff to make it move around like last time, but I found it all here and there. Hopefully all of it will work fine, but I guess I'm going to have to make an on/off switch this time..."

[thief_of_truth]

"Wow, it's gonna move too? That's pretty cool!"

[Kay grins. She actually never saw the one Gumshoe made for the precinct.]

"Can I help out too?"

[derp_detective]

"Oh yeah, you've only seen the stationary ones at Gatewater Land, huh?

Before they made that place, I made this thing for in front of the Police station. Yep, we got a lot of calls about it back then. Most of them good. The kids seemed to love it at least!

[He glances around to see what he can use help with.]

Let's see... I have the shape cut out, but if you want to help me sand and paint the pieces, that'd be helpful."

[thief_of_truth]

"No problem! Leave it to me!"

[And she gets right to work, grabbing a piece of plywood and some sandpaper.]

"This is gonna be so cool!"

[derp_detective]

"Yep! Be like back at the police station in no time.

Even found a tape recorder to play the Badger's theme song. Though I'm not too sure where I can get a cassette tape of it around here. I'm sure I'll figure something out eventually though."

[Gumshoe gets to sanding the rough edges of the various pieces as well, while Missile lounges in the shade.]

[thief_of_truth]

"You could always hum it and get someone to play it on the piano, and record that!"

[Kay is just full of ideas as she sands away~]

[derp_detective]

"That's a pretty good idea! Something to try after we get it put together."

[After finishing another smaller piece, he brings the cans of paint and a large blanket to keep the floor free of paint so they're nearby when they finish sanding.]

[thief_of_truth]

"All done over here!"

[Sets the piece of plywood down on the blanket.]

"Time for the paint, right?"

[derp_detective]

"Yep! In case you need a reminder of the color scheme of the Blue Badger, I did a sketch of it over there on the work table."

[Indeed, there is a small piece of paper, with a drawing of the Blue Badger fully colored in. By crayons.]

[thief_of_truth]

"Oh yeah, I definitely remember it!"

[Looks at the picture anyway, smiling a little before going over to open one of the paint cans.]

"Let's get started!"
